Customer Reviews Summary
What people like
This accessory is highly regarded by users, particularly for home espresso setups, as it significantly reduces the overall height of the grinder, allowing it to fit under standard kitchen cabinets. Its smaller capacity is also appreciated for maintaining bean freshness in lower-volume usage scenarios. Users find it a practical and essential addition that enhances the grinder's usability in a domestic environment.
Pros
- Reduces Height: Makes the grinder much more compact, allowing it to fit under standard kitchen cabinets.
- Ideal Home Use: Perfectly suited for home baristas, addressing the large size of the standard hopper.
- Enhances Freshness: Smaller capacity (250g/300g) encourages using fewer beans, promoting better freshness for low-volume usage.
- Good Quality: Reviewers note the solid construction and good quality of the accessory.
- Easy Installation: Simple to install and swap with the standard hopper.
- Improved Aesthetics: Makes the grinder look more proportionate and better in a home setting.
Cons
- High Price: Many reviewers find the cost of the accessory to be expensive, especially for a plastic part.
- Grinder Lock System: The grinder requires the hopper to be locked in, and some users found the mechanism (screw) confusing initially.
- Not Single Dosing: The grinder with a hopper (even short) is not ideal for single-dosing due to retention, which some users transitioning to the E65S for home use note.
